Chapter 122 He wrote me love letters
The sound wasn't loud, but it was very prominent.
Everyone turned around and saw Jiang Xueyan heading straight towards Ji Peiheng.
Her goal was so clear that people around the man unconsciously made way for her.
Jiang Xueyan stood in front of Ji Peiheng and said with a charming smile, "Ji Peiheng, we meet again."
The man remained silent, his eyes filled with indifference.
Shi Yang also watched coldly for a while before speaking, deliberately asking, "Mrs. Jiang, who is this?"
Mrs. Jiang pulled the person to her side and smiled as she smoothed things over: "Xueyan, why don't you greet Mrs. Ji?"
Jiang Xueyan then noticed the beautiful and charming woman beside her, and her pupils contracted slightly.
The jealousy in my heart piled up like a mountain.
She stared at Shi Yang with unfriendly eyes, without saying hello.
Mrs. Jiang nudged her awkwardly, saying, "Xueyan, you can't be rude."
Jiang Xueyan remained unmoved.
Who does she think she is? Why should I greet her?
Shi Yang smiled nonchalantly: "So it's Miss Jiang. She's really genuine. You can tell she was raised well by Mr. and Mrs. Jiang to be so childlike and innocent."
The last two words were pronounced with a special meaning.
Jiang Xueyan's expression changed.
Mrs. Jiang felt a little embarrassed, as Jiang Xueyan was the same age as her and they were classmates.
To call it childish innocence is utterly ironic.
"Xueyan, go see if your Uncle Huang and the others have arrived yet?" Mrs. Jiang sent her away.
...
Shi Yang sat in the corner eating a small cake, his gaze following the dark red figure.
After a few bites, I felt it was too rich, so I ate the small cherry on top and didn't touch it again.
At that moment, the figure who had attracted everyone's attention seemed to notice her gaze and looked at her. Their eyes met in mid-air.
A tender and affectionate feeling is revealed.
"Shi Yang, let's talk."
Jiang Xueyan sat down next to her.
Shi Yang glanced to his side: "What do you want to talk about?"
Jiang Xueyan cut to the chase: "Tell me, how can you leave Ji Peiheng?"
Shi Yang remained expressionless and asked in return, "Why do you want to leave Ji Peiheng?"
“Shi Yang, I like Ji Peiheng. I’ve liked him since we were in school. Although I wasn’t in the country before, I heard about the mess your family made. You weren’t originally going to marry Ji Peiheng, so why bother? Why tie yourself to someone you don’t like? As long as you’re willing to leave him, just name your price, and I’ll give you whatever you want.”
Jiang Xueyan's eyes were filled with conviction; she had long been convinced that Shi Yang was only with Ji Peiheng for money.
“Miss Jiang, if that’s the case, then I can’t leave him even more. He has much more money than you do.”
Shi Yang blinked her eyelashes lightly, her smile radiant.
"Do you have to be so materialistic? Isn't being with someone you don't love a form of torture?" Jiang Xueyan said righteously, her contempt growing even stronger.
How could Ji Peiheng be with such a money-grubbing woman?
It's an insult to him.
"Who told you he's not the one I love?" Shi Yang's eyes lost their smile, revealing a hint of impatience.
She's so annoying!
Jiang Xueyan was most afraid of this, after all, Ji Peiheng was such a good man, anyone would easily fall for him.
She said anxiously, "You probably don't know, but he likes me."
"..."
Shi Yang fell silent.
She was truly speechless.
“Back when we were in school, Ji Peiheng repeatedly showed interest in me. If it weren’t for some other unexpected event, he almost accepted my confession, and we might have been together a long time ago.”
Shi Yang's gaze toward her became even stranger.
Why aren't you saying anything? Have you run out of things to say?
"What are you talking about? Take me with you." Ji Peiheng came over lazily and put one hand on Shi Yang's shoulder.
The hand with blue veins gripped the woman's delicate white shoulder, creating a striking visual impact.
Seeing him approach, Jiang Xueyan lowered her eyes shyly.
Shi Yang said, "Miss Jiang, since we are all here today, please repeat what you just said. I want to ask my husband myself whether he really liked you when we were in school."
Ji Peiheng's brows furrowed instantly.
Jiang Xueyan was both embarrassed and awkward, not expecting that Ji Peiheng would say it so directly.
But she really wanted to know the answer.
“Pei Heng, I know you still resent me, but since everyone is sitting here today, it’s time to make things clear to everyone.”
Her voice was soft and gentle, filled with anticipation, and her eyes were full of smugness as she looked at Shi Yang.
She was so confident that Yang almost doubted whether something had actually happened between them.
Her unfriendly gaze fell on the man beside her.
—You'd better explain yourself clearly!
Ji Peiheng remained silent.
Shi Yang grew impatient and twisted his stiff forearm: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Ji Peiheng said, "Wife, didn't you forbid me from talking to her?"
"When did I..."
Shi Yang suddenly stopped, remembering what he had said when he was drunk last time.
She glared at him: "Now it's your turn to talk to Miss Jiang."
Jiang Xueyan would be truly foolish if she couldn't tell they were talking about her.
She awkwardly clutched the hem of her skirt.
Ji Peiheng finally looked at her properly: "Miss Jiang, what are you up to? Trying to sow discord between me and my wife? Hmm?"
His voice was cold, and his eyes no longer held the warmth they once showed when he looked at Shi Yang.
"I didn't stir up trouble. Didn't you write me love letters back then?" Jiang Xueyan said hurriedly.
Back in school, everyone said that Ji Peiheng liked her, but every time she looked up at him, his eyes were indifferent, showing no affection whatsoever.
So she couldn't be sure if he liked her or not, until one day after school, when she came out of the classroom, she saw Ji Peiheng leaning against the corridor and throwing her a letter.
The envelope was beautiful, and she had a vague idea of what it contained. Suppressing her excitement, she waited until she got home to open it.
It really is a love letter!
His words expressed his affection for her.
Only then did she realize that Ji Peiheng liked her.
His usual coldness towards himself must be because he's embarrassed.
But before she could send out the reply she had written, she heard that he had gotten into a fight and gone to jail.
Even if he gets out in the future, he will still have a criminal record. How can she be with a man with a criminal record in the future?
So she didn't tell anyone about it. Who could have imagined that Ji Peiheng would be so outstanding later on? She heard that he hadn't had a girlfriend while she was abroad.
She clung to a sliver of hope, wondering if he still liked her.
When she decided to return to China, she also heard the news of his marriage, and she was stunned.
But even now, she still doesn't believe that Ji Peiheng would like Shi Yang.
“Ji Peiheng, you personally handed me that love letter back then, and I still keep that love letter to this day.”
